Background: Arterial stiffness, measured using carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (c-f PWV) and heart rate-corrected augmentation index (Aix75), is associated with cardiovascular disease, and in some studies incident atrial fibrillation (AF). In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to investigate whether arterial stiffness is associated with markers of atrial myopathy, which refers to structural and electrical changes in the atria that indicate increased AF risk.
Methods: We included 1050 participants (age 57 ± 4.

Background: CD3 + CD20 + T cells (T cells) are a subset of lymphocytes in the human body that are associated with inflammation. They originate from T cells interacting with B cells, and their levels are abnormally elevated in individuals with immune disorders, as well as in some cancer patients. The interplay between tumor immunity and inflammation is intricate, yet the specific involvement of T cells in local tumor immunity remains uncertain, with limited research on their subtypes.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of congenital lung malformations (CLMs) in patients from infancy to adulthood, and to determine the optimal timing for thoracoscopic surgery.
Methods: All patients with CLMs who underwent thoracoscopic surgery between 2017 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into five age groups: 1-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-4 years, 4-16 years, and >16 years.

Rationale: First-degree relatives of patients with pulmonary fibrosis (relatives) are at high risk for interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA), highlighting the need for biomarkers for risk prediction. We aimed to identify blood proteins associated with and predictive of ILA among relatives of patients with pulmonary fibrosis.
Methods: Relatives enrolled in two independent cohorts had protein levels measured using an aptamer-based proteomic platform.
